That story also claimed that whenever NFL officials approached the Patriots about it, the issue went away only for it to happen again when the officials backed off.

But NFL officials are claiming responsibility for the incident. They say it's the NFL's responsibility to supply the headset equipment and that a power issue contributed to the glitch.

The Patriots also made claims their headsets were having problems as well and almost had to switch out Tom Brady's helmet because of it.

But this couldn't come at a worse time for the Patriots. Brady just dodged a suspension for the deflategate controversy and a poll recently found 34 percent of the public has an unfavorable opinion of the QB. (Video via MSNBC)

This headset issue could've very well been outside of the Patriots' control, but public opinion might already be so against the team that this becomes just another item on their list of controversies.
